In 1940, John Steinbeck and his good friend biologist Ed Ricketts embarked on a six-week fishing voyage to the Gulf of Mexico. Steinbeck kept a journal of their maritime expedition which resulted in the book The Sea of Cortez. This Log of the Sea of Cortez contains the less technical aspects of the voyage, documenting their day-to-day adventures as only steinbeck could have written it.
